WHAT IS BRAND STRATEGY?

IT'S NOT A PLAN.

Most businesses have plans. Far fewer have a strategy.

The two are constantly confused. A plan tells you what you're going to do. Strategy determines the best possible path forward, and what you're prepared not to do to get there.

Here's how we think about brand strategy at Defiant.

By Will Poskett, Founder of Defiant

WHAT IS BRAND STRATEGY?

Brand strategy is the set of choices that determines how a brand will create an advantage in the market. It's not a vision. It's not a list of objectives. And it's definitely not a 100-page deck explaining everything you might do over the next three years. At its simplest, strategy is the best possible path forward.

For a brand, that means understanding where you are today, deciding where you want to get to, then making a clear set of choices about how you're going to get there.

The important word is choices.

Because if your strategy doesn't force you to choose one path over another, it probably isn't a strategy. It's a plan.
